We develop a method for estimating a simple matrix for a multidimensional item response theory model. Our proposed method allows each test item to correspond to a single latent trait, making the results easier to interpret. It also enables clustering of test items [...] Read more.
We develop a method for estimating a simple matrix for a multidimensional item response theory model. Our proposed method allows each test item to correspond to a single latent trait, making the results easier to interpret. It also enables clustering of test items based on their corresponding latent traits. The basic idea of our approach is to use the prenet (product-based elastic net) penalty, as proposed in factor analysis. For optimization, we show that combining stochastic EM algorithms, proximal gradient methods, and coordinate descent methods efficiently yields solutions. Furthermore, our numerical experiments demonstrate its effectiveness, especially in cases where the number of test subjects is small, compared to methods using the existing L1 penalty. Full article
